Read it that way if you want, but I'm the OP and I've never believed for a second that they're actually together. I said I find it hard to imagine being that intimate with a person in ways A, B, and C and not being intimate with them, and that's true. I do find that hard to imagine, for myself, personally. But nowhere in my secret do I suggest that my own feelings dictate their reality. And frankly, I'm baffled that anyone would jump to that conclusion based on what I said.

I said what I meant. I wasn't implying anything more than exactly what's there.
